The Intel Arc G3 Extreme surprises with up to 25% more performance compared to AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme

Recently we have seen the console leaked MSI Claw with the new processor Intel Arc G3 In its most powerful version, the Extreme. A processor derived from Panther Lake and designed exclusively for portable consoles with Windows. Intel wants to bring a new APU to this field and thus compete with the Ryzen Z2 Series that amd It is already in its second version. Well, a first test of this CPU Intel Arc G3 Extreme promises surprising results on portable consoles.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme surpasses Ryzen Z2 Extreme in the first leaked tests

This first test detected in PassMark has shown the Intel Arc G3 more powerful and what it is capable of doing. In the single-core test it has achieved 4,288 pointswhile the multicore test shoots its result up to close to the 30,000 pointsspecifically 29,622. This significantly surpasses the hitherto star of portable Windows consoles, the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme.

Up to 25% more multi-core performance vs. AMD alternative

This CPU amd which is already in its second version and already has drivers that are somewhat more refined than those that the APU may have. Intel. Even so, the solution of amd has achieved 3,964 points in the single core test and 23,649 in multicore. An advantage for the processor Intel of more than one 8% on a single core and more than one 25% on multicore. Altogether, the Intel Arc G3 Extreme is up to a 16.7% faster in this test PassMark.

However, compared to the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V (Lunar Lake)the score of single core It doesn’t seem to have undergone major changes. This Core Ultra 9 of the past generation would have achieved 4,289 points in the single-core test, a score almost identical to the Intel Arc G3 Extreme current. Where there is a difference is in multicoreeven with a consumption configuration of 30W The results of this test have not been able to reach the 20,000 points.

Consumption and the Arc B380 GPU continue to be the big unknowns of the new chip

Even so, the processor consumption during the test has not been revealed, and it is possible that it used a Higher TDP that the solution of amd to achieve this score. A fact that we hope to know later as more details of the Intel Arc G3 Series.

Another of the great unknowns is the performance of the Intel Arc B380 of this G3 Extremefor which the results have not appeared. On the other hand, this B380 It seems that it will be a slightly slower version than the B390so we should expect a performance similar to the latter introduced in the processors Panther Lake high-end series Core Ultra latest.

Intel could present the Arc G3 at COMPUTEX 2026

With the COMPUTEX one month after its start, it is possible that Intel is preparing the ground to present this series Arc G3 composed of these two processors. If so, Geeknetic will be present during this great computing event to offer you all the details of this new series of Intel APUs for portable consoles, which promises to surprise users for the better.
